teachers have in the classroom to be an artist, a storyteller, able to skillfully lead the discussion, choose irrefutable evidence to prove the logical necessity of knowledge of the rules of the Russian language.And yet it needs to be ... humorist.
After humor - this is probably the most powerful weapon against ignorance.And even if the situation is told by the teacher, it is not very plausible, but it will leave the imagery in the minds of "notch" in perpetuity.Thanks funny "picture" created a fantasy wise teacher, the students realize that there are between the verbs "dress" and "put on" the difference, with a huge.
Dressed chicken
confusion in the use of these two verbs occur for the reason that both are the same root verb.However, the verb "to put" a big deal.Along with the process of putting on of garments, he can still carry meaning "stick," for example, on a skewer or peak.The story that the children laugh and will remain in their minds, just based on the ambiguity of the verb "to wear".
at one of the student in the company picnic was a young man who understands everything literally.His name was Hernando, he was Mexican.The boys decided to cook chicken on a skewer.
When the fire in the fire blazed merrily, responsible for the preparation of refreshments said Hernando: "Dress chicken - that skewer!" Boy, which was requested, nodded and walked away from the fire to the table that held raw food.
he was absent for a long time.But when he returned with a chicken in his hands, friendly laughter just blew neighborhood!On the chicken wore leather cap adorned her waist skirt with straps - a sort sarafanchik made of chiffon scarf a flirtatious female students, and the stumps of the legs were stuffed into someone else's shoes.
Whoever gave Hernando order "to put the chicken," was outraged by the most, because it is his cap and his shoes were spoiled stupid Mexican.But he calmly replied that the request he made exactly: put the chicken - so clothe it in some detail.Already the Russian-language he knows!
course, first order and it seemed a little strange.But he reasoned that being familiar with some Russian customs, the young man never tired of them surprising.For example, carols people dress in the skins of various animals, the New Year tree decorating.Perhaps there is still some kind of custom, when you need to dress up a chicken before it fry?

Therefore, the word "dressed" can also be a definition of a living being or animate human imagination.Dressed man, dressed lady, house, dressed in snow caps - are examples of using the word "dressed".
Although tales characters (animated inanimate objects in everyday life) can be dressed: this table and bed, and other things.
«table, dressed in a festive tablecloth, proudly looked at its neighbors" or "Dressed in elegant framed photograph of his father, hitherto pylivshayasya in the closet, was extremely happy about this change in her destiny."
«Wearing a glove," "gloved" - how?
In relation to inanimate objects should use the definition of "put on."That is, the suit can be dressed, but only put on.The same applies to the word "glasses", "skirt", "coat", "hat" and another are items that wear.
example with a glove you can use in class, explaining the difference between semantic definitions of "dressed" and "worn".For better memory you can give attention to the pictures signed by the students.And one of them is reliable - with the signature "to wear gloves."But the picture is signed by the phrase "wearing gloves" will be wearing a humorous character - there in the glove, or rather, on one of her fingers, wearing a cap and a scarf tied.
phrase "wearing gloves" can exist only in a fairy tale or a fantasy story, which comes alive accessory can dress, speak, think.For example, some of the ladies wearing rings on top of the glove.And a fantastic story allows for the use of the phrase: on the one glove mistress put on top of the ring, and the other - no.And "wearing a glove" with a gold belt, decorated with diamonds, scoffs at his sister, who "forced to go out naked."End of the story may be the fact that the owner loses a glove - one that has been "undressed.""Rich glove" rejoice - now she will no longer tolerate this close to a beggar bothered!However, it expects misfortune landlady discovered the loss and grieve, thrown in the trash silly smug.
